I buy the Organic Valley 1% milk for convenience as it’s easy to carry one in my commuter bag and use it at work for my coffee and cereal. I also use these as back up at home for when I run out of refrigerated milk. I’m the only milk drinker in the house so it’s not always worth a special grocery store trip, but I also don’t like starting my day without my morning coffee with milk in it. So these can be really handy.
The Organic Valley 1% milk has an excellent taste and texture- just like organic milk I buy in the refrigerated section. Each carton only has 90 calories, 7 grams protein and 2 grams of fat. My coworkers have the refrigerator stocked with their nondairy, flavored creamers and that’s fine for them, but those have all kinds of chemicals listed and I feel this is a healthier option for me and suits my taste more.
The milk has an 8 month shelf life from production to expiration. I received a box March 1 that was produced 12/18 and expires 8/2019. Good products without preservatives simply don’t last as long. While I’m okay with only 5 months left, I’d rather have 6-7 months to use it as I don’t go through these quickly. I’d suggest buying this milk as needed rather than stocking up. Because I’m happy with the taste, quality and convenience, I’m rating this milk 4.5 stars.
PS I haven’t been able to find shelf stable SKIM milk and don’t know if it’s produced, so I buy powdered skim milk. I’d prefer skim to 1% milk as I get plenty of fat from other food. Wish it was available.
I love this milk, kids need milk at lunch & this is a great healthy option. Not only are they organic but they are primarily grass fed (unlike the leading competition of organic milk boxes who opfactory farms their cows on organic corn). They taste like normal milk amd never had trouble with expiration dates (though that likely would be the amazon fufillment centers fault.) I've bought these since my son (now in high school) was In grade school, and he still drinks them. The only 2 issues I have are 1. I can sometimes find these same boxes in stores & their base price (not on sale) is cheaper than online. (Unfortunately they aren't always in stock).
2. Amazon issue: if you order these with other products amazon will ship them together and because it is a box of heavy milk it squishes the other items, so I always order them alone.
Slightly expensive but good to keep on hand. My kids don’t drink much milk and I hate having a half gallon go to waste. I can chill these in the fridge and divide one between the two kids for their cereal in the morning. I can also toss it in my bag and it’s good for on the go (much better chilled though).
I purchased this product to have "shelf available" milk handy as I don't use standard refrigerated milk enough to warrant buying a carton at the store every time I needed it. My question was whether the taste was comparable. The answer was that it was surprisingly just as good as refrigerated milk! For the convenience of having milk readily on hand, the value and the quality taste, I highly recommend this product.
I would advise everyone to keep the pantry / larder / cupboard / shelf stocked with a case of these UHT milks. Great for my mother who often is housebound and cannot shop. Tastes as good as fresh milk. Never run out again. Comes in a range of different percentages.

Description
All the taste and nutrition of a tall glass of milk, without the glass. Organic Valley's single-serve 1% lowfat milk comes from cows pasture-raised on our small family, organic farms and is packed with vitamins and 7 grams of protein per milk box. Whether your kids are enjoying a mid-morning snack or washing down a peanut butter sandwich at lunch, Organic Valley milk boxes make it easy to enjoy a delicious, nutritious organic treat.
So nice to have milk that doesn't spoil in the refrigerator. Good taste with very little clumping. Downgraded one star for being less than a full cup per container and for only having an opening that fits a straw - as if everyone is going to drink it rather than put it on cereal, etc.
The milk is of course great, portable, and has a long shelf life. The other thing that really attracted me to this particular product, is that it is cardboard (easy recycle) container. Nicely done
Milk is milk. It is ok, but what sucks about this product is straws. My kids have hard time with the straws that come with these milk boxes. They are average kids. They are used to using straws. They can use Horizon milk box straws fine. But for some reason, straws that come with Organic Valley are hard for them to use. Don't know exactly why. I would give 5 stars if they could change the straws.
These shelf-stable little boxes of milk are a big help in the kitchen when I'm making a meal and find the jug of refrigerated milk has gone bad. A handy back-up for folks like me who don't regularly drink milk.
Arrived on time. I received it on 4/12/17, the expiry date is 9/14/2017. Which is a good time to run 12 cans.
I did'n't see properly that this was 6.75 ounce. I thought it was 8 ounce. But it does not matter. I like it.
Now I see 20 % coupon clip.. I didn't get that in my first order.. sad :(
